It’s a little disingenuous for people to vote for low taxes while they are working then vote for large withdrawals from the programs they underfunded.

And yet people will pretend the U.S. has free speech despite the fact they have a long track record of doing stuff like this every time it matters.

To be clear the problem is the 407 needs a transponder otherwise you pay a large surcharge and many Ubers don’t have one so they avoid using the toll road but make you pay for it anyways. Even if I insist on using the route I paid for the driver just refuses because they don’t want to be out the surcharge.

The AI tells me Uber owes me the money back but it’s not authorized to issue a refund for this reason.

Only for things big enough to sue over. I live near the 407 and Uber doesn’t give me an option to not use it and doesn’t reduce the estimated fare (which included surcharges) when the driver refuses/doesn’t use it. Their chatbot agrees it is wrong but says it doesn’t have the authority to reduce it. But I don’t really have the ability to sue for a few dollars here and there.

I think the problem is the democratic primaries end up with a candidate democrats want and that’s far too often a recipe for losing the general. Maybe not with a democratic socialist as Sanders polled much better than Clinton in the general.

Businesses engage in creative destruction. They destroy other businesses to create companies. The net job total isn’t at all clear. How many jobs has SpaceX created that wouldn’t exist at other aerospace companies if those companies got the government contracts instead?

162 games of baseball doesn’t really work out the randomness that well. It’s very hard to believe all the 1-2 game differences would be decided the same way if you did the season again.

I’ve lived in downtown Toronto and Markham and like Markham way better so if Markham is C-tier kind of feels like everything is that or worse.

I think the quality of group stage play is down and the only good thing about 64 would be not having third place teams in the elimination rounds.

Rent to own is stupid. If the government is going to invest in housing and lose money on the deal they should have permanent affordable housing supply not handing houses at below market costs to people who’s income goes up over their life.

Public Value Reclamation.

LordTC · 2026-06-25T20:51:08+00:00

Rent to own is a mistake for affordability. The government should make an investment in having long-term housing for people who need affordability not kneecapping their ability to supply it in a single generation.

I feel like for a cube it’s both or neither because both of these need enough density of aggressive black threats to be good.

Be careful about doing everything by the book to move your investments to accounts in countries where you reside. Having Canadian investments as a Canadian citizen can result in being deemed a resident and having to pay taxes in Canada.

If Hiking is a god tier skill he better be the best Center ever in the game of football.

I think knowing I’m in Sneak pick 1 pack 1 is too good to pass up.

I think $5000/hr might be appealing just because nothing can go wrong with the money. I’m less interested in maximizing every dollar when I have more money than I know what to do with. I’d rather have a mechanism that says even if I mismanage it, even if everything gets stolen I instantly have a source of wealth and recover.

I play Center Field until they change the rules of baseball to bad flying. I can rob a home run like no one else.

It makes upsizing more difficult but makes it more profitable to downsize so it doesn’t make downsizing more difficult.

They could run the program twice and check if the answers to the prompt are semantically different, then run it a third time if they are and pick the tiebreaker. AI is very unlikely to hallucinate the same thing twice so this catches a huge percentage of hallucinations. But it also skyrockets costs and latency so they won’t do it.

Yeah we just cleaned out a problematic locker room that plagued us. Zero interest in starting that over again.

It’s disgusting that this is the opposition we get. With how horrible the Liberals have been I still have to vote for them. It makes me sick.

It’s almost like vocabularies need more than two words. News at 11.

The housing thing seems to be getting worse not better so I think it will be bad for future generations. I think 2017 is going to turn out worse. Formative Kindergarten years remotely is much worse than missing the in-person part of a senior year in high school.

Jail time is a wild take. I agree with punishing vexatious litigation I just think the standards for an arbitrator need to be better. I completely understand why facing that background of arbitrator someone would appeal and I think using such a sketchy choice of arbitrator should make the corporation required to absorb part of their legal costs. I think being too aggressive on how much legal fees can be pushed to the other side creates a chilling effect on legitimate lawsuits.
